Chav (pronunciation: [tʃæv]) (also Chavette (female chav), Charv or Charva) is a slang term in wide use throughout the United Kingdom since 2004. It refers to a subcultural stereotype of a person with fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery, Burberry clothing items and counterfeit designer clothing; an uneducated and uncultured background; a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets, bus stops, car parks or other shopping areas; and a culture of antisocial behaviour and violence. Many regard chavs to have a musical taste mainly including poor dance music (often played loudly in their souped up Ford Fiestas as they cruise the streets), but some also enjoy garage, RnB, rap/hip hop and drum and bass music . Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism.

Chavs are arrogant twats that love to wear hats at the most riduculous angle humanly possible, and are usually seen outside MacDonalds, or any shops that sell alcohol or fags. Of course they have usually been banned from the shop (because they can't hold a civil conversation with anyone who isnt a chav, because they cannot accept that there are people who have opinions different to their own) and so ask every passer bye "oi m8, can u go in da shop 4 me"
They also love to hang around in the streets drinking cheap cider or stellar, and try to pick fights with harmless loners, because the groups they hang around in (of several hundred) obviously feel insecure about their sexuality, and so must get it back by assaulting innocent members of the public.
Beware the socks and those big puffy red jackets

A CHAV is a person who watches and appears on Trisha or Jeremy Kyle, they wear lots of sovereign rings and a lot of Burberry or Von Dutch, except its not usually Von Dutch its a cheapo market ripoff called Von ***** or something equally naff.
They drive souped up novas or fiestas.
They also hang around in parks or bus stops.
I know this because i honestly believe that i live in the CHAV capital of the united kingdom!

we've used the term charva in the North East for at least 15 years but the meaning is pretty much the same. Into Bling, Von Dutch or Burberry clothes, baseball caps, tracksuits, pit bulls, souped up Saxo's, smoking weed, speaking with a reall cr***y accent that belongs to nowhere and millions of medallion earrings. Oh and babies at 14 by different dads, living on the dole, wandering round shopping centres all day. phew!!!

me! no kidding chav's orginate from East london to essex, being a chav entails burberry, a done up crappy car such as a citreon saxo with iced lights and humangous spoiler and wheels that are too big. lots of jewellery speaking like an american rap star for girls wearing lots of pink, for men caps with the tags still attached. lots of makeup walking with 3 legs and giving stares to normal passer bys. oh and have that grumpy i'm-pissed-off-with-the-world type look.

damn didn't realise how much stuff there is lol! hope that answered your question. oh and yes chantelle and preston are the new chav king and queen.

they should die

Chav was originally an abbreviation for Chatham Average and was a reference to the number of council estates in the area

The entire English football team, their wives and girlfriends.

Usually Chavs are like footballers but without either the talent or money.
